What 
Determines the Real 
Value of Your Home 
Building Investment? 
M ost people admit 
that Face Brick is 
the most beautiful 
material for a home, that 
it is the most endurmg. the 
safest from fire. But be¬ 
cause they believe it is 
“too expensive” they use a 
cheaper material. 
The average builder puts too 
much emphasis on the original 
cost of a home. He doesn’t stop 
to think about depreciation, up¬ 
keep, repairs, fuel bills and fire 
insurance rates. Yet these are the 
factors that really determine the 
permanent value of his investment. 
You will find these matters fully 
discussed in *'The Story of Brick/' 
an artistic booklet with attractive 
illustrations and useful informa¬ 
tion for all who intend to build. 
An interesting feature of the 
booklet is a survey covering a 
period of years, showing the per¬ 
centage of difference in cost of var¬ 
ious types of house construction. 
You will probably be interested 
in knowing what a small difference 
in cost there is today between a 
Face Brick house and one of less 
durable, less beautiful materials.
